Cops: Woman Fired Hot Lead Over Cold Fries

McDonald's customer not happy with her meal

JULY 23--A McDonald’s customer who complained that her french fries were cold fired a gunshot into the floor of a Georgia restaurant and then led cops on a car chase before being apprehended, according to investigators.

Lillian Shantel Tarver, 27, yesterday afternoon ordered food from the McDonald’s in Garden City, a Savannah suburb. But Tarver, seen at right, was not happy with her meal since, she said, the french fries were not hot.

Tarver, who had a gun in her hand, demanded a refund. As a worker went to retrieve a new order of fries, the McDonald’s owner opened a cash register and told the armed Tarver to take what she wanted.

After allegedly grabbing some cash from the register, Tarver fired a round into the kitchen floor and fled the McDonald’s. After a short pursuit, Tarver was arrested by Garden City Police Department officers.

Tarver was charged with multiple felonies, including armed robbery, aggravated assault, fleeing police, and firearms possession. She also faces reckless conduct, battery, aggressive driving, and reckless driving counts.

Bond has not been set for Tarver, who is locked up in the Chatham County jail. Tarver’s rap sheet includes arrests in Florida’s Miami-Dade county for theft, marijuana possession, and criminal mischief.
